[A slight smirk tugging at his own lips when Hubert doesn't even acknowledge the hesitation to give a name. Choosing his battles, as it were. It's infuriating all over again, that a man like Hubert would waste his skills following so blindly after Edelga-
No, not blindly. That was the mistake he'd made before, writing him off as a lapdog with no thoughts of his own. He was just too loyal to disobey her and do what made more sense. Surely he'd had to have known how all of this would play out.]
And I'm sure they taught the Eagles as far as you recall, yeah?
[He doesn't really need Hubert to confirm it. They both know it. Though it does make him wonder, musing under his breath.]
That one person could so drastically change the outcome of so much...
[And that quiet thought is one Hubert's been considering since he first heard Bernadetta mention it, that the Professor hadn't taught them. The Professor is certainly a powerful person, but are they really the catalyst for how differently they remember things going? There's still much to consider there, but it's a thought Hubert isn't really sure how to process for now.]
Speaking of them, have you seen the Professor here?
[While they likely won't have any more answers than anyone else, it would be good to know if they're around.]
[Who are they to question Fate? If that one choice so drastically sways the development of those that later lead the countries of Fodlan... well. It makes sense, doesn't it. Especially when Teach is, in some way, a vessel for what's left of Fodlan's Goddess.
Which just circles back around to Rhea being an absolute maniac. Stars above. Ugh.]
Hmm? No, I- heh with all this confusion I dunno if I want to run into Teach here.
Pretty sure the only person that'd be worse would be the archbishop herself.
[Speaking of Rhea. Oh hells it would be horrible if she showed up here too. Though... he's pretty sure the Rhea from his Path wouldn't make it out of the crater alive. Immaculate or no.]
Though... huh. You guys still have her captive in your memory? Because I'm pretty sure those Diamond guys would be able to put her down real quick given her condition last time I saw her.
[...Well, the pause likely gives him away more than anything else, and he doesn't intend to insult Claude's intelligence by lying and pretending he knows what Claude's talking about.]
Captive? No, the Archbishop was able to escape and fled to Faerghus. You remember us holding her captive?
[That's interesting. That's such a huge part of their power, sending the entire Church scrambling, lost and leaderless in the absence of the Archbishop. Never mind whatever experiments they were running on her to leave her in such a poor state when they'd grudgingly rescued her.
The idea that they'd maintain as much control in a Path they didn't have that advantage? It's surprising.]
Mmm. That's gotta make your life a lot harder, then. There's a lot more discrepancies than I imagined, though.

[Can you imagine how mad she'd be, Claude. It'd be hilarious.]
